Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021
Private equity promises to provide high returns, mostly for high net worth individuals and institutions. The partnership model has just begun to provide multiple returns in 5-10 years. Some of the largest private equity firms have restructured major businesses and have modernized disabled businesses which have stopped growing.
